on a hill 1000 feet above the sea level. Only
the two named reached the summit. The
cairn had evidently remained untouched
since to erection. Grass was growing thickly
around it, and tree was also growing
through one side, which had caused some Of
the stones to fail OFF. The discoveries emf
the tree down and burned the grass growing
around it.

To Fort Robinson.

The colored trooper mounted on his
we'll fed and spirited charger will no
longer be seen upon the streets. The
company which was stationed here several
months ago have left for Fort Robinson,
Neb. The soldiers of the command con-
Quoted themselves admirably while
camped near and frequently visiting the
city. Though one would occasionally
overstep the bounds and become involved
in trouble, as a rule they were quiet and
orderly.
Capt. Parker and Lieut.. Bettens were
gentlemen of the old school, bearing
themselves with dignity but not austerity.
They will be missed by their many
friends in Cheyenne and Fort Russell.
The prompt and willing manner in which
they assisted in the search for the escaped
prisoners Is a favor which was appreciated
by every citizen OF Laramie county.
Although every resident of this section
had solemnly resolved to hate and detest
the colored troops before their arrival,
they first tolerated them, but contempt
soon changed to respect.

UMMINGs RESIGNS.
A Rumor That the Assistant General
Manager Tenders His Resignation.


There was a current IN afioat yes
terday and one that gained considerable
credence, to the effect that Assistant Cen
eral Manager Cummings, of the Union
Pacific, had rendered his resignation, the
same to go into effect Nov. l. 1t is stated
that he will accept a position as assistant
to President Adams. of the same road,
Immediately upon his retirement from
the Office of assistant general manager.
1t is well known that President Adams
has had the matter in view for some time,
and it is now said that the matter has
been finally arranged whereby Mr.. Cum
mings goes to Boston as the president
assistant.
A reporter of the Herald questioned
several attaches of the Union Pacific, and
while none of them confirmed the report,
still they admitted that such matters
were now under consideration, and that it
was likely to .consummate at any time. Mr..
Cummings at present is in Kansas City,
hence nothing further could be learned
concerning the truthfulness of the asser,
ton.

A rather small audience greeted Lenore
K. Murray, the handsome and accom-
plished recitatioDist, at Y. NJ. q. A. hall
last evening. To criticize Miss Murray
from the standpoint one would Judge a
practiced elocutionist would be unjust to
the lady. Her comic selections were well
rendered and elected honest applause.
The dramatic productions essayed by the
lady were recited in a manner which indi-
Gated that she possessed a magnificent
voice and a rich mine of talent. The
latter, if properly trained, will place Miss
Murray very near the head of the list as a
dramatic reader. Her voice is capable of
much, while her stage presence and ges-
lures evidence her great capabilities in her
chosen profession. The i~mpersonation Of
the typical young girl who lives in hotel
was particularly pleasing.
A soprano solo by Miss Minnie Gillian
was well received. Her voice is wonder
fully sweet and flexible and her knowledge
OF music enables her to interpret a selec-
ton in a manner which the listeners en-
Joy and appreciate.
A solo by Prof. Passmore with cornet
accompaniment and a cornet solo by Mr..
Wilcox were enjoyable features of the
evenings entertainment.

crowd of over $50 people last evening at 7
o'clock to witness one of the most brilliant
weddings that has occurred within a fort
night.

this city, and manager Of Barkalow
Bros. branch store at Cheyenne, Wyo.,
was married to Miss Ray Moss, OF Brook

There were no bridesmaids. Two

altar, as the wedding party entered the
hall.
As soon as the sacred ceremonies were
concluded the guests repaired to the din

last evening. Work. is progressing rapid
" and we will finish our contract much
earlier than anticipated by anyone except

A visit to the grade camp is well worth
the time spent. On certain portions Of
the line men are so thick as to at first
convey the impression that the presence
of so many would retard, rather than
hasten the removal of the tons upon tons
of earth which Is being handled daily.
Each man is allotted a certain duty and
performs it with a will. The teamsters
who guide the large scrapers frequently
struggle for the championship in remov-
ing a stated number of loads within a
certain time. Then the men shout and
run, while the horses and mules strain
every nerve to assist the competitors.
Large numbers of city people drive to the
scene of activity every pleasant day.

the Timer.

A Cheyenne horseman related a little
incident yesterday illustrative of the tricky
methods of the average jockey. The
owner of a 2:2S horse was driving it in a
three minute race and was anxious to win
the purse. but dared not let his animal
cover a mile in less than 2:35. The time
keeper was anxious to purchase the
Jockeys horse, and upon numerous occa-
sions made overtures with a view to strik-
ing a bargain. The jockey knew of the
timekeeper's yearning to hold the ribbons
over the horse, and said to him: "I'll sell
you this plug after the race is over, pro
vided he don't beat 2:35," Good"
came the response. ''Wha will you take
for him?" Just 800" ''All right.
I'll see that he doesn't lower the record"
When the racer came under the wire in
the final heat in 2:29 the %timekeeper
gravely placed Time, 2:35" on the black
board and fastened to the owner with a
happy smile and a $500 check, saying:
Get off that sulky, here's your money"
Cant see it, me boy" responded the
Jockey, the horse Is worth IS, 200 of any
mans money now; much obliged to you,
